Keeping the government stable. That's what it's going to. Ensuring that it's not toppled, and all chaos breaks out. Remember what happened to Soviet weapon stock piles after it fell? Think of what would happen if the Pakistani government collapsed.

In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.

In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

In Afghanistan, Bagram would be the highest priority target to completely screw us over there. They wouldn't even need a direct hit. They'd just have to detonate slightly upwind to shut the place down.

how do you know the technology is even there. there's other higher priority targets out of the country. blow up a base right under our nose??? they got bigger plans than that

It would be a LOT easier to sneak one of those across the afghan border and close to one of our bases. Thousands of dead American's. Possible chaos in the Afghani government. The Taliban would blow their load at the thought.

What else would they do? Get it onto a ship, and try to get it all the way to the US? Extremely unlikely.

Smart bet would be to hit one of our major military installation that is within easy striking range of where the got the weapon from.

Al Qaida and the Taliban? No. They aren't even fighting Israel. Why would they try to nuke them? Why not the enemy that they've been in war for with a decade? Why not hit an easy target that's got 10 thousand or more troops that you can kill in an instant?

It makes no tactical sense at all. These people that we are fighting are not stupid. If they were, we still wouldn't be fighting them.

If they were to hit Israel, there would be international outrage. The world would have no choice at all but to come down on them. Including Arab states, because they would mostly be effected by the fall out. Hitting a legitimate target, one they've been at war with for 10 years would have a lot less political fall out.

that's first high priority target??? what's BL been doing there all these years. watching goats fuck on TV ???

He was the most wanted man on earth.If he stuck his nose out side his window about a dozen Reapers would unload on him.He had learned from past mistakes that electronics emit signals that can be used to locate him so no outside electronic radiation .
He was largely a figurehead by this time and his death was political vengeance for his past deeds against America....Bush had it right,Bin Laden no longer mattered in the war on terror.
